Class it up Patch! Found this to be pretty tasteless. What's the point? To divide a community? To make people feel better or worse for themselves? To warn people where the "poor" people live? Pretty sure everyone is well aware of their neighborhoods without you pointing out the "richest" and "poorest".

I agree with Matt and Joe. Although the info may be interesting to some, it really serves no one in a positive way.

Gee, what's next? Is Patch going to print a map of all the licensed gun owners in Stow? Hint: Doing so got a NY paper in a LOT of trouble!

This is a tasteless article! I have family that live in both areas and they are all disgusted that this information is being made into a "story". There's no story here. Good people, morally wealthy people, live in both places!
